An evening at Lumière
What is included
3 wines · 3 × 750 ml · 2.25 l in total
In our wooden box
For an evening with good food and time to explore: this set takes you through three different wines from Lumière. Sparkling Koshu opens with citrus freshness and fine bubbles. Hikari Koshu shows the fullness and texture the grape can gain from barrel ageing. Château Lumière Red 2016 brings mature fruit and firm tannins to the main course. The three bottles arrive in our wooden box.
These wines are included
Sparkling Koshu 2023
Lumière · Yamanashi · Sparkling wine · Koshu · Brut · 11% vol · 0.75 l
The Koshu grapes come from Minaminoro in Fuefuki. A second fermentation in the bottle is followed by 20 months of bottle ageing. Japanese citrus and delicate yeasty spice lead the aromas. Persistent bubbles and fresh acidity make a lively opening, also suited to small starters.
Hikari Koshu 2022
Lumière · Yamanashi · White wine · Koshu · Dry · 12% vol · 0.75 l
For Hikari, Lumière uses Koshu from its own vineyards. Fermentation in barrel is followed by 20 months in wood. Quince, apricot and subtle oak meet soft, full texture and gentle acidity. Compared with the sparkling wine, the grape’s fuller side emerges.
Château Lumière Red 2016
Lumière · Yamanashi and Nagano · Red wine · Blend · Dry · 12% vol · 0.75 l
This mature blend of Tannat, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon spends 15 months in small wooden barrels after fermentation. Dark cherry and delicate vanilla meet firm tannins and lively acidity. Its powerful character closes the selection and suits roasted flavours.
How to explore the set
Begin with well-chilled Sparkling Koshu as an aperitif. Serve Hikari Koshu a little less chilled so its fruit and barrel notes can unfold. Château Lumière Red follows with the main course. Taste each wine on its own first, then with food, to appreciate differences in freshness, fullness and tannins. You can also enjoy the selection over several evenings.
Our idea for the table
Prawn or vegetable tempura suits the sparkling wine. Pair Hikari with pan-fried fish, creamy risotto or roasted celeriac. For the red, try roast beef with mushrooms, duck or a hearty aubergine dish.
